His arrival at Depor was announced by the Hornets on Twitter, as the Spanish deadline for transfers comes to an end on Friday night.

The 30-year-old stopper made nine appearances in total for Watford throughout his spell at Vicarage Road, and was better known for being the tallest player in the Premier League at over two metres tall.
